Let the pilfering continue

As you probably have seen, Alge Crumpler was released by the Falcons today. This is a guy who has not caught less than 42 balls and 5 TDs in any of the last five seasons. Outside of Jerramy Stevens “break-out” year in 2005 (45 rec, 5 TD), those numbers would...

Mike Wahle: A cautionary tale

As you have all noticed, I am not exactly burning up the blogosphere with posts here lately. I did, however, see the Mike Wahle release a few days ago and thought to myself, “I should blog about adding him to the Hawks.” Wouldn’t I have looked smart now? In case...

Analysis: Zorn to coach Redskins

I was on the fence about posting about the Zorn news, but our #1 commenter, cwu91 brought it up, so what kind of blogger would I be if didn’t share my opinion? As I’ve mentioned before, I think Zorn should have received more consideration as the Hawks next coach. He’s...

Congrats to the Giants

Amazing game. I was not shocked, but definitely surprised. I think I was more shocked how they won than that they won. What were the odds that the team driving the length of the field to win the game would be the Giants? That play where Eli avoided the sack...

Problem Solved: Make Dilfer the QB Coach

I just was listening to our old pal Trent Dilfer on KJR this morning when it hit me; there might not be better person to replace Zorn at QB coach in the NFL than Trent Dilfer. Here is a guy who has Matt’s trust and confidence, is already considered a...

Analysis: Zorn to leave Hawks

Although, there is still not formal confirmation, it appears Jim Zorn is leaving to become the Redskins offensive coordinator. I hate this move. If it’s true that he is leaving because the Seahawks front office refused to give him assurances past this season, I really hate this move. Zorn represented...

Seahawks get the #1 pick in the draft?

An article on ESPN has me wondering what it would take for the Hawks to get the #1 pick in the draft and who we’d take if we got it. I’m of the belief that you have very few opportunities to be in championship window, and you should do everything...

Analysis: Holmgren is coming back

So you’ve probably heard by now that Mike is coming back for one more year. No more. No less. No plan after that has been announced, though, based on Jim Mora Jr.’s actions around the Redskins vacancy, we can make some guesses about what might have been promised to whom....

The Holmgren Solution

Does anyone think Holmgren’s decision is really about whether he wants to coach again? I certainly don’t. It has much more to do with whether he wants to *only* be a coach. The guy came out here to be a GM, and had that title stripped. He wants to hold...

Reflections: The 2007 Seahawks Part I (Offense)

I will probably take this in multiple parts, but I will be using my season preview (Part I and Part II) as a guide of where I thought things were going to be versus where they ended up. Perhaps the biggest, and most welcome, surprise of this season was that...

And….we’re done

Maybe it’s the beer, but I feel surprisingly at peace with a total meltdown loss to end our season. As I told HawkBloggerWife, it wasn’t like there was one killer play or call that turned the game around. We got our asses kicked. We could play that game ten times...
